Award Presentation and Reception (see page 68) Having just reviewed
the program for the meeting, I know the talent, expertise, and
innovation that you will find at our discussion groups, plenary
sessions, panels, university forum and scientific papers and in the
special programs we offer for trainees, students, candidates, and
mid-career professionals. Here are just a few highlights of the
January meeting. Bonnie Litowitz, Ph.D. editorin-chief of JAPA,
will be our plenary speaker on Friday morning with an address on
Coming to Terms with Intersubjectivity. APsaAs current and past
presidents will offer a forum on public engagement, including our
efforts to engage with diversity in our organizations and
practices. All of the January panels focus on topics that expand
the terrain of psychoanalytic theory and treatment. Susan Levine
has organized a panel on the role of dignity in public and private
life. Phillip Freeman chairs a panel on the Internet and
subjectivity. Jeanne Vivona invites us to re-imagine the talking
cure. Beatrice Beebe and her colleagues engage the question of
threat in the analytic situation (the counterpart to safety
explored in the last meeting). Our child and analytic panel looks
anew at autism and the role that analytic understanding can and
should play in contemporary understanding and treatment of this
devastating syndrome. Our symposia this January engage urgent
problems in social and clinical life, including mitigating gun
violence, Eros in the clinical situation, psychoanalytic treatment
of depression, and the way we find ourselves in the contemporary
world. Our discussion groups bring members together from across the
globe to learn together about topics that range from privacy to
single case archives, psychoanalysis and Buddhism and the analysts
experience of loss. This January, the University Forum will take us
inside of Henry Jamess Portrait of a Lady. Our new session,
Innovations, will explore the analyst as social entrepreneur. We
also welcome a record number of international presenters, enabling
attendees to experience the global footprint of psychoanalysis and
the multiplicity of ways our discipline and practice live in the
world. I encourage you to browse the preliminary program and
register early for popular programs like our two day clinical
workshops. Its also not too early to be thinking of the Annual
Meeting in Chicago in June, where the newly configured program will
include a clinical plenary, practice-building workshops. TED-style
talks as well as discussion groups, the University Forum, two-day
clinical Workshops and other favorites. I look forward to seeing
you in the New Year! SATURDAY, JANUARY 18, 2014 7:30 a.m.-8:30 a.m.

T h e Ps yc ho a n a l y s t as A r ti s t Psychoanalysts are known
for their sensitivity to the suffering, conflicts, and inhibitions
of their patients. What is less well known is that many are also
sensitive and talented artists. APsaA is happy to provide a forum
for that expression and an opportunity for sharing those visions
and talents with others. Contact Dr. Robert Welker
([email protected]) for details about exhibiting your work
including photography, painting, small sculptures and jewelry.

1: How to Seduce Unbelievers? Psychoanalytic Interventions in the
Public Sphere Chair: William H. Braun, Psy.D. (New York, NY)
Co-chairs: Lynn V. Friedman, Ph.D. (Washington, DC) Gail Saltz,
M.D. (New York, NY) Presenter: Tracy D. Morgan, LCSW, M.Phil., CGP*
(New York, NY) At a time when psychoanalysis finds itself on the
defensive, there nevertheless remains an unflagging desire for
psychoanalysis: how best to capitalize on this desire? Reflecting
on the work of the webcast, New Books in Psychoanalysis, which
interviews authors about their latest publications in the field,
and the Time to Treat the Times Campaign, designed to impact The
New York Times unconscious fantasies about psychoanalysis, this
workshop will engage analysts in an exploration of the following
questions: Can a psychoanalytically informed voice enter the fray
of American public intellectual life? As psychoanalytic thinking
has much to offer to the culture, how do we approach the obstacles
that stand in our way? And finally, how do we reckon with our own
resistances to engaging beyond the consulting room? DISCUSSION
GROUP 1: The Analysis of Masturbatory Fantasies: Theory and
Technique Co-chairs: Denise C.K. Fort, Ph.D. (Washington, DC)
Christopher J. Keats, M.D. (Chevy Chase, MD) Presenter: Robert
Galatzer-Levy, M.D. (Chicago, IL) This discussion group explores
how masturbatory fantasies can be analyzed to promote a deeper
understanding of the patients character structure, self and object
matrix and response to trauma. The unifying function of body ego is
examined. Special consideration is given to how this material
emerges and is expressed in the transference. After attending this
session, the participant should be able to: 1) Describe and
critically evaluate historic and contemporary theories about the
construction, structure and function of masturbatory fantasies; 2)
Identify and apply technical strategies which promote the
elaboration and exploration of masturbatory fantasies. :2 =Of

Certification Chair & Presenter: David Turner, M.D. (Portland,
OR) Members of the Certification Examination Committee (CEC) and
participants will discuss a written case together. Participants
will observe how the CEC functions and will also participate as
committee members in discussing the case. Participants are
encouraged to ask the CEC members whatever questions they might
have about case write-ups, the interviews, and the workings of the
committee. After attending this session, participants should be
able to: 1) Recognize better ways to write up cases to submit to
the CEC; 2) distinguish and describe the interview process and the

session, participants should be able to: 1) Describe the clinical
and ethical conflicts surrounding the issue of requesting consent
for publication of clinical material; 2) Discuss the effect of the
analysts theoretical orientation on his/her response to this issue.
:2 WEDNESDAY This group is targeted to anyone who is interested in
treating older adults. William Shakespeares play The Tempest will
be used as a springboard to discuss aspects of injuries to self,
present in all life changes but that have previously been
underappreciated in the treatment of older adults. process? Should
the patients reaction to the request be understood as an artificial
intrusion, or as grist for the mill? Can an analysand under the
influence of transference give free and informed consent? Do our
responses to these questions vary with our theoretical orientations
to analysis? A vigorous discussion will follow. DISCUSSION GROUP 5:
Separation-Individuation Revisited: Integrating Observations from
the Mahler Nursery with Contemporary Attachment Methodology Chair:
Wendy Olesker, Ph.D. (New York, NY) Presenters: Inga Blom, Ph.D.
(Brooklyn, NY) Wendy Olesker, Ph.D. (New York, NY) Miriam Steele,
Ph.D. (New York, NY) Discussant: Anni Bergman, Ph.D.* (New York,
NY) This discussion group will present research that has
operationalized the developmental trajectories of children studied
in Margaret Mahlers Masters Childrens Center program during infancy
and toddlerhood, and who were then interviewed and evaluated later
as adults using the Adult Attachment Interview. The data provides a
unique opportunity to study the central constructs of Mahlers work
and their relation to more contemporary theories. Further data will
be presented that charts developmental trajectories from oedipal
phase, latency, early adulthood, parenthood, and therapy as a
middle aged adult will be examined. A central focus will be on the
impact of aggression on the construction of mental representations
and memory, their transformations, their rigidities, and their
transmission to the next generation. After attending this session,
participants should be able to: 1) Identify Margaret Mahlers
studies of separation-individuation as well as other theories of
child development, particularly those concerning modes of
attachment; 2) Articulate details about the processes of
transformation of aggression during different phases of
development. :2 Analysts sometimes request consent from patients to
publish confidential material. The discussion will begin with the

WEDNESDAY DISCUSSION GROUP 6: Buddhism and Psychoanalysis Chair:
Edward T. Kenny, M.D. (New York, NY) Presenter: Pilar Jennings,
Ph.D.* (New York, NY) As the encounter between psychoanalysis and
Buddhism continues, practitioners in both traditions have grown
curious about the impact of double belonging, or simultaneous
personal experience in both healing methods. In Mixing Minds: The
Power of Relationship in Psychoanalysis and Buddhism, Pilar
Jennings explores the ways in which Buddhist practice may influence
and potentially deepen the analytic space, offering the analyst
increased capacity for mindful attunement, relief from selfblame in
the midst of difficult treatments, and authentic respect for and
reliance upon the patients insight, wisdom, and push for wellness.
Jennings will focus on the analysts encounter with specific forms
of Buddhist meditation and ways in which these may influence the
psychoanalytic process. After attending this session, participants
should be able to: 1) Assess the effects of mindful meditative
practice on the analysts capacity to utilize countertransference
within the analytic dyad; 2) Assess how the so-called religious
analyst works within the analytic frame, introducing morality into
a space that is neutral. :2 DISCUSSION GROUP 7: Modern Ego
Psychology Chair: Eric R. Marcus, M.D. (New York, NY) Co-chair:
Karen Gilmore, M.D. (New York, NY) Presenter: Fred Busch, Ph.D.
(Brookline, MA) This discussion group discusses the various aspects
of modern ego psychology and seeks to understand how various
approaches and theories fit together in the integrated individual
ego. Dynamic processes and their development as they organize
symbolic representations and their affect-contents are discussed at
all levels, from drives, defenses and agencies, to object
relations, to self-organizations. After attending this session,
participants should be able to: 1) Describe the modern ego
psychology approach; 2) Identify ego psychology in the clinical
situation. :2 DISCUSSION GROUP 8: The Integration of Psychoanalysis
and Couple Therapy Co-chairs & Presenters: Graciela E.
Abelin-Sas Rose, M.D. (New York, NY) Peter Mezan, Ph.D.* (New York,
NY) This discussion group centers on three overlapping areas of
great current interest: 1) the application of psychoanalytic
principles to the treatment of couples; 2) the distinction between
the unconscious organization of the individual and the unconscious
organization of the couple; and 3) the synergy in the increasingly
common dual treatment situation between individual psychoanalysis
and psychoanalytic couple therapy. After attending this session,
participants should be able to: 1) Demonstrate the power of
psychoanalytic principles in understanding and interpreting the
unconscious structure and dynamics of a couple; 2) Evaluate the
mutually synergizing effects between concurrent individual and
couple treatments. :2 DISCUSSION GROUP 9: Mind and Literature:
Analysis and Self-Analysis in Chekhovs A Dreary Story Chair &
Discussant: Silvia M.V. Bell, Ph.D. (Baltimore, MD) Co-chair &
Presenter: Jean McGarry, M.A. (Baltimore, MD) Much as the analyst
reads a deeper structure in the patients associations, the student
of literature uncovers in literature thematic patterns. Because
literature serves a mutative function for both reader and writer,
the poem or narrative can be seen as therapeutic. The discussion
will bring the skills of a novelist and an analyst to the study of
literature, as a reflection of psychological activity. This
discussion group will focus on Anton Chekhovs A Dreary Story.
Written after the author had diagnosed himself with TB, the story
is the meditation of a dying doctor, repulsed by everything around
him, including his successful life as scientist, professor,
husband, father, and friend. As Nikolai Stepanovich receives
students, colleagues, and family members, we see something
resembling an analysts working day. In his case presentations,
Chekhov gives his protagonist room for acute analysis and
selfanalysis. After attending this session, participants should be
able to: 1) Recognize, in a literary text, a psychic communication
(among author, characters, and reader) analogous to the analytic
process and detect 12 =Continuing Education Credits =Of Interest to

DISCUSSION GROUP 10: Schizoid Modes in Narcissistic and Borderline
States: Levels of Disturbance in the Capacity to Symbolize and
Establishing a Space - Time Continuum Co-chairs: Susan Finkelstein,
LCSW (New York, NY) Nasir Ilahi, L.L.M. (New York, NY) Presenter:
Leslie A. Johnson, Ph.D.* (Charlottesville, VA) Schizoid modes and
mechanisms can be found in a broad spectrum of patients. In British
object relations theory, Klein incorporated Fairbairns ideas of
schizoid defenses in her concepts of the paranoid schizoid position
and projective identification. Rey emphasized the unconsciously
concrete ways in which borderline patients experience mental space
and their claustro agoraphobic encapsulation, hindering true
symbolization, including possibly, disturbances in the spacetime
continuum, in sense of self identity and their body ego. Clinical
material will illustrate aspects of these phenomena and types of
factors involved if unconscious anxieties associated with paralyzed
affectivity are to be worked through. After attending this session,
participants should be able to: 1) Recognize the nature of schizoid
mechanisms and their links with neurotic, narcissistic and
borderline functioning; 2) Develop skills to recognize transference
and counter transference manifestations and a capacity to think
about interpretative approaches in working with narcissistic and
borderline patients. :2 DISCUSSION GROUP 11: On Being Supervised:
The Science and Art of Teaching in a Supervisory Relationship
Chair: Hilli Dagony-Clark, Psy.D. (New York, NY) Presenter: C.
Edward Watkins, Ph.D.* (Denton, TX) Dr. Watkins will outline
essential and contemporary components of a flourishing
psychoanalytic supervision. He will highlight effective skills
necessary to generate a learning alliance with a supervisee, create
supervisory reflectivity, and recognize individual and
developmental diversity. Specifically, he will focus on the
principals of the supervisory situation that have proven to be the
most tenable, and the themes that have emerged After attending this
session, participants should be able to: 1) Recognize effective
teaching tools in supervision; 2) Create interventions that foster

Training and Practice Co- chairs & Presenters: Caroline Sehon,
M.D. (Bethesda, MD) Virginia Ungar, M.D.* (Buenos Aires, Argentina)
Discussant: Jill Savege Scharff, M.D. (Chevy Chase, MD) This new
discussion group will demonstrate the importance for every adult
psychoanalyst to obtain some child analytic supervision or
training, before or after graduating from an analytic training
program. Presenters: Virginia Ungar, M.D., Chair of the
International Psychoanalytical Associations Committee on Integrated
Training, and Caroline Sehon, M.D., Teaching Faculty at the
International Institute for Psychoanalytic Training (IIPT).
Discussant: Jill Savege Scharff, M.D., Supervising analyst at IIPT.
Child analytic foundational concepts will be highlighted, and
evocative clinical case presentations will enrich participants
capacities to come into contact with difficulties associated with
very regressive moments or phases in adult analytic work.
Participants will come to experience first-hand how child analytic
work facilitates the development of analytic attitude,
observational skills, and receptivity to transference and
countertransference, in clinical work with both child and adult
patients. After attending this session, participants should be able
to: 1) Describe the applicability of child analytic supervision,
and/or training to all psychoanalysts, even if the adult analyst
works exclusively with adults; 2) Demonstrate analytic attitude,
observational skills, and receptivity to transference and
countertransference in response to evocative child analytic
material, and to apply concepts from infant, child, and adolescent
development to adult analytic work. :2 2014 National Meeting | New

Letter Writer Chair & Presenter: Henry Zvi Lothane, M.D. (New
York, NY) In this session the presenter will discuss the first
volume of the correspondence between Sigmund Freud and Martha
Bernays, from June 1882 to July 1883, the start of their betrothal
to their marriage in 1886. The protagonists emerge here with their
qualities of character, confrontation, and conflict resolution.
These letters may shed some light on the later Freud as
psychoanalytic theorist and as emerging leader of the
psychoanalytic movement. In addition, the presenter will refer to
the letters written by Freud to his sister-in-law Minna Bernays and
the sensationalist claims made in some quarters about sexual
liaison between him and Minna Bernays. After attending this
session, participants should be able to: 1) Identify letters in
general, and Freuds letters in particular, as an essential and
important source of the historiography of psychoanalysis; 2)
Analyze the content of letters and differentiate truthful from
false statements. :2 9:00 A.M. 12:00 P.M. SENIOR ANALYST

M.D. (New York, NY) Anna Schwartz, M.D. (New York, NY) Drs. Anna
Schwartz and Sabrina Cherry, co-authors along with Debra Cabiniss
M.D., of a widely admired textbook for teaching psychoanalytic
psychotherapy principles titled Psychodynamic Psychotherapy: A
Clinical Manual, will present their work on how teaching students
to do psychotherapy differs from teaching psychoanalytic
candidates. The textbook describes a true how to approach starting
from first principles and using no jargon so that a beginner can
understand the process, using the rubric: LISTEN/REFLECT/INTERVENE
as the outline of basic steps. The second book applies the same
methodology to Psychodynamic Formulation, and uses the rubric:
DESCRIBE/REVIEW/LINK to help beginning psychotherapists begin to
formulate how their patients came to be the way they are in a
psychodynamic frame of reference. Time will be included at the end
of the session for lively discussion. After attending this session,
participants should be able to: 1) Identify how to use a
jargon-free approach to teaching psychotherapy technique according
to the Listen/Reflect/Intervene model described by Cabiniss et.

There will be a continued in-depth study of the totalitarian,
implacable, often sexualized nature of the archaic superego, its
relationship with severe childhood traumatization and family
pathology, but this time more specifically against the background
of an understanding of tragedy as a literary form. Its importance
in dealing with the negative therapeutic reaction will be studied
with the help of some clinical example(s) of so-called tragic
character(s). After attending this session, participants should be
able to: 1) Identify the phenomena of the archaic superego,
especially in form of tragic character and negative therapeutic
reaction; 2) Recognize the patients tendency to provoke punishment
and elicit humiliation. :2 DISCUSSION GROUP 15: Therapeutic

Chair: Ronald Fleischmann, M.D. (Dallas, TX) Co-chair: Andrea
Celenza, Ph.D. (Lexington, MA) Presenter: Fred Koerner, Ph.D.
(Hamden, CT) This discussion group will explore the special
problems that psychoanalysts and mental health professionals (MHPs)
face in practicing their profession. The requirements of the work,
especially the decentering and self-deprivation that abstinence and
asymmetry requires, can result in a psychologically depleted
selfstate. The group will utilize case material; focusing on
segments of the treatment that will illustrate these issues with
the elucidation of the complexity of the transference/
countertransference paradigm as a pressure for enactment. The focus
will be on what strategies and what resources are available to the
therapist when he or she is faced with the conflicts that certain
patients present as a challenge to maintaining neutrality,

Sprengnether, Ph.D.* (Minneapolis, MN) Presenter: Marco Conci,
Ph.D.* (Munich, Germany) Discussant: Jane G. Tillman, Ph.D., ABPP
(Stockbridge, MA) Psychoanalysis today is often defined in relation
to seminal figures in the fieldFreud, Klein, Winnicott, Bion,
Kohut, etc. But, in the mainstream tradition, Harry Stack Sullivan,
the founder of interpersonal psychoanalysis, has been largely
forgotten. Utilizing the transcript, preserved at the Austen Riggs
Center, of a 1944 lecture on anxiety given at Chestnut Lodge, as
well as chapter one of Sullivans The Psychiatric Interview (1954)
and excerpts from presenter Marco Concis Sullivan Revisited (2012),
on Sullivans technique, the session will examine Sullivans
anticipations of such influential contemporary trends as object
relations theory, self psychology, and defense analysis. Both the
unique strengths and possible drawbacks of Sullivans idiosyncratic
language and clinical style will be considered. After attending the
session, participants should be able to: 1) Identify key concepts
in Harry Stack Sullivans work on anxiety that anticipate
contemporary psychoanalysis; 2) Compare and contrast Harry Stack
Sullivans interpersonal model with the theories of other leading
psychoanalysts. :2 DISCUSSION GROUP 17: Insights from Infant
Research for the Practicing Psychoanalyst Chair & Presenter:
Alexandra M. Harrison, M.D. (Cambridge, MA) This discussion group
continues an exploration of how contemporary developmental theory
and videotape analysis can benefit the practicing psychoanalyst. In
this meeting, the child analyst presenter, Alexandra M. Harrison,
will show videotape material from the analytic treatment of a two
to three year old child with apraxia using the method of Reflective
Network Therapy. The video material demonstrates the importance of
bringing the body back into our formulations and treatment. It also
illustrates the complex intermingling of symbolic and body-focused
nonverbal meaning making in the search for the self. Finally, it
presents evidence for symbolic meaning as an emergent property in
the communication of an initially nonverbal child. After attending
this session, participants should be able to: 1) Identify several
important types of nonverbal communication and apply this knowledge
in analytic work; 2) Describe several ways in which body experience
is central to the development of the self and how this knowledge
can be used to enrich analytic understanding. :2 DISCUSSION GROUP

CT) Kerry Malawista, Ph.D.* (Potomac, MD) Presenter: Michelle Flax,
Ph.D.* (North York, ON) When an analyst experiences a loss, they
often find themself in an extraordinary, solitary position. There
is little literature that addresses the bereaved analyst. It may be
hard to consider the intersection between the private worlds of
analyst and patient. This group explores the experience of death,
loss, loneliness and isolation in the practice of psychoanalysis.
In this session Dr. Michelle Flax will discuss her experience
during and after two significant experiences of trauma and loss.
The first, her experience during her daughters serious illness,
involved recognition of unacknowledged affect in both analyst and
patient; the second trauma was the murder of her brother-in-law and
the questions it raised about disclosure to patients. After

(New York, NY) There are an estimated 240 million migrants
globally. Many of these people are subjected to a particular form
of abuse, exploitation and humiliation. They may also have no
citizenship in any country. How can psychoanalysts engage in
individual treatment as well as this global phenomenon? The
American Psychoanalytic Association recently submitted a request

DISCUSSION GROUP 20: Assessment and the Analytic Identity: Using
Psychological Tests to Sharpen Our Dynamic Understanding and Aid in
Psychoanalytic Treatment Chair & Presenter: Jed Yalof, Psy.D.
(Narberth, PA) Co-Chairs: Anthony Bram, Ph.D. (Lexington, MA) James
H. Kleiger, Psy.D., ABPP (Bethesda, MD) Presenter: Andrew Smolar,
M.D. (Bala Cynwyd, PA) This session serves as a forum for
psychoanalysts trained as psychodiagnosticians to discuss their
work and learn from each other. The group will begin by reviewing
testing protocols mailed out ahead of time (please make sure to
pre-register by WEDNESDAY disavowed affect during a traumatic
situation in the analysts life; 2) Develop a model for thinking
about issues of disclosure surrounding a sudden or prolonged
absence due to a crisis in the analysts life. :2 December 16, 2013
in order to receive materials). The ensuing discussion will focus
on 1) how testing makes a difference with treatment planning and
implementation, 2) applying psychoanalytic principles to the
process of diagnostic testing, and 3) using test formal scores,
thematic material, and the patient-examiner relationship to help
understand the treatment process. There will be a clinical therapy
case that includes repeated testing (neuropsychological,
personality) discussed as part of the presentation, with
contributions by the treating therapist/analyst (the case, however,
is not an analysis), two moderators who are psychoanalysts, and the
psychiatrist/analyst involved in medication management. After
attending this session, participants should be able to: 1)
Demonstrate how assessment can be utilized as a model for
anticipating transference and countertransference reactions and for
predicting how the patient will respond to different kinds of
treatment approaches and interventions; 2) Distinguish how the
integration of neuropsychological and personality assessment helps
them conceptualize personality functioning from a psychoanalytic
perspective. :2 DISCUSSION GROUP 21: Pharmacotherapy and
Psychoanalysis Co-chairs: Larry Sandberg, M.D. (New York, NY)
Fredric Busch, M.D. (New York, NY) Presenter: Les Fleischer, Ph.D.*
(Toronto, ON) This discussion group will explore common challenges
when medication is part of an analysis. These include: What factors
contribute to the decision to prescribe or withhold medication?
What countertransference challenges exist in combining treatment
for medical and non-medical analysts? How does the introduction of
medication impact the psychoanalytic process? In what situations
may the use or non-use of medication threaten the analysis? What
are some of the challenges in monitoring medication once it is
introduced? To what degree are cultural pressures at play and how
are they managed within the analysis? After attending this session,
participants should be able to: 1) Characterize those factors that
lead the analyst to consider the use of medication; 2) Describe
some ways in which the introduction of medication affects the
psychoanalytic process. :2 2014 National Meeting | New York, NY |

Spirituality Chair: Paula J. Hamm, M.A., LPC (Centreville, VA)
Co-chair: Paul Marcus, Ph.D.* (Great Neck, NY) Presenter: Claire
Beth Steinberger, Ed.D., Esq.* (New York, NY) Discussant: Michael
Varga, Ph.D.* (New York, NY) The clinical treatment of a
traumatized quadriplegic patient points to specific reparative
dynamics in the relational unconscious, including the role of
transcendence in the fortuitous crossing of intrapsychic and
intrasubjective experience. The patients triumphant resolution
suggests an expansive appreciation of the bi-personal field where
the power of interacting transferences created a transformative
space for re-integrating narcissistic, gender and erotic
representations and ego functions. Exploration of the analysts role
draws upon the discussant, Michael Varga, Ph.D. views on
transference enactments and the analysts need of resolving
formative development mental struggles. Contrasting perspectives on
the analysts role will be additionally addressed with Paul Marcus,
author of In Search of the Spiritual. After attending this session,
participants should be able to: 1) Summarize the psychological
complexity of restoring dignity through clinical interventions with
a quadriplegic patient; 2) Describe various ways to engage in the
reparative role of transcendence in the transference enactments. :2

Josephine Lesley Wright, M.D. (New York, NY) Presenter: Katherine
L. Gould, LCSW* (Santa Monica, CA) Coordinator: Ken Gruenberg, M.D.
(Newton Centre, MA) This discussion group will explore some of the
issues that are encountered when doing analytic work with patients
who have been adopted. It will identify how work with adoptees
throws a spotlight on vicissitudes of normal parent child
ambivalences, and highlight how the internal reality of the
adoption affects self and object representations resonate in the
psychic life of the adoptee. The session will examine how the
adoption echoes in analytic work and particular challenges that are
encountered when doing analytic work, how the adoption echoes in
the treatment and especially how it is reflected in the
transference phenomena. After attending this session, participants
should be able to: 1) Identify how work with adoptees throws a
spotlight on the vicissitudes of normal parent-child ambivalence;
2) Describe how the internal reality of adoption affects self- and
object-representations, and how these then resonate in the life of
the adoptee. :2 DISCUSSION GROUP 25: Philosophy and Psychoanalysis

responsibility for psychoanalytic work. :2 DISCUSSION GROUP 26: The
Application of the Ideas of Some French Analysts to the Clinical
Situation: Joyce McDougall Co-chairs: Gail S. Reed, Ph.D. (New
York, NY) Francis D. Baudry, M.D. (New York, NY) This discussion
group has spent many years deepening the understanding of Andr
Green. The group will now move on to one of Greens contemporaries
and consider the psychoanalytic contributions of Joyce McDougall.
Drs. Baudry and Reed will begin with short presentations about
Joyce McDougalls life, her place in the landscape of French
Psychoanalysis, and the scope of her psychoanalytic interests. They
will then study her approach to psychosomatic illness by discussing
the case of Christopher in chapter three of her book, Theaters of
the Body. Please read chapter two for background as well as the
case in chapter three. After attending this session, participants
should be able to: 1) Discuss Joyce McDougalls theory of
psychosomatic processes; 2) Paraphrase the way in which she
recommends psychoanalysts think about and treat psychosomatic
patients. :2 This discussion group will bring together the
experience of one co-chair with group process and mindfulness with
the experience of the other in the use of imaginative literature to
teach sensibility in analytic listening. This group will center
upon what we are calling the embodied experience of analytic
listening through the transferencecountertransference. Adapted from
a ten-session seminar in which participants did a close reading of
Virginia Woolf s To the Lighthouse coupled with the presentation of
analytic case material, the participants will be presented with
selected excerpts from this novel to which they will do a piece of
free writing during the discussion group about a clinical
experience that comes to mind that will be read aloud and discussed
by the group. WEDNESDAY ethical implications of the contrasting
existentialphenomenological philosophies of Heidegger and Levinas.
Heideggers existential philosophy will be shown to point toward an
ethics of finitude that, in turn, points toward a therapeutic
comportment characterized as a form of emotional dwelling. Levinass
philosophy, by contrast, articulates an aspect of the infinite and
the disruption of dwelling, pointing toward an infinite ethical
responsibility for the suffering other. Roger Frie and Jack Foehl
will facilitate discussion. DISCUSSION GROUP 27: Conversations for
Analysts: The Embodied Experience of Analytic Listening Co-chairs
& Presenters: Fred L. Griffin, M.D. (Dallas, TX) Randall H.

participants should be able to: 1) Expand their capacities to
listen for and identify a multi-sensorial experience of the
patients inner and relational worlds; 2) Synthesize this more
visceral view of the transference-countertransference to discover
more precise language that fits the patients states of
consciousness, affective tone, and embodied sense of self. :2

M.D. (Portland, OR) Scott M. Murray, M.D. (Portland, OR) Presenter:
Drew Tillotson, Psy.D.* (San Francisco, CA) Discussant: Kathryn
Zerbe, M.D. (Portland, OR) The Internet as a fact of life for
analysts and their patients has had an indelible impact on
contemporary psychoanalytic practice. Expanding literature on this
topic includes two books published this year addressing a range of
issues including: the influence of social media, analyses conducted
over the Internet and the telephone, technologyassisted
supervision, and erotic transference and the Internet, among
others. In this discussion group, an analysis via the Internet will
be presented in detail. This new modality challenges traditional

Maetzener, M.D. (New York, NY) Mary M. Sickles, M.D. (New York, NY)
Presenter: Rona B. Knight, Ph.D. (Chestnut Hill, MA) Using session
material from the six-year analysis of a girl which began when she
was five and a half years old, we will examine her sexual
development and the conflicts that influenced her sexual identity.
The material from this analysis is particularly interesting because
this girl, wishing to get as much love and attention as her two
older brothers did, decided to be both a boy and a girl. She chose
a defensive bi-gender solution to ward off intense anxiety stirred
up by the narcissistic injury and the resulting aggression. The
discussion will focus on the analysis of her gender- and sexual
identity. After attending this session, participants should be able
to: 1) Describe the major areas of early development; 2) Describe
internal conflicts that influence sexual identity. :2 DISCUSSION
GROUP 30: Psychoanalysis and the Visual Arts: Matisses Art as a
Window on Therapeutic Action Chair: Laurie Wilson, Ph.D. (New York,
NY) Presenter: J. David Miller, M.D. (Washington, DC) This
discussion group will explore how Matisses creative process may
shed light on the therapeutic action of psychoanalysis. It will
focus on a transformation in Matisses art during World War I which
coincided with a welcome transformation of his personality.
Illustrated not only with Matisses art, but also with his
insightful comments on what he tried to achieve, it will show that
Matisse consciously aimed for compromise formation and 20

sublimation, and that he wanted his art to mirror and contain his
inner world. The presentation will show how Matisses perspective on
art can inform the thinking of the psychoanalytic clinician. After
attending this session, participants should be able to: 1)
Recognize the roles of compromise formation and sublimation in
Matisses creative process and, by analogy, to identify the role of
each of these functions in the creative work of psychoanalysis; 2)
Recognize how Matisses art provided therapeutic benefit to him, as
a mirror and container of his inner life, and, by analogy, to
recognize the similar function of effective psychoanalysis. :2
DISCUSSION GROUP 31: The Analysts Pregnancy Chair: Sarah J. Fox,
M.D. (New York, NY) Chair: Susan G. Lazar, M.D. (Bethesda, MD)
Presenter: Lori Pellegrino, M.D. (New York, NY) Pregnancy in the
analyst is an ideal situation in which to examine how a real life
intrusion can influence the analytic setting. Treatment issues
involving both transference and countertransference, as well as
more logistical issues which frequently are stimulated by pregnancy
in the analyst will be discussed. Pregnant analysts are often still
in analytic training and issues arising from the supervision will
also be discussed. Analytic case material will be presented. After
attending this session, participants should be able to: 1) Describe
the transference and countertransference issues that typically
arise during an analysts pregnancy; 2) Draw a greater familiarity
with the pragmatic challenges that can arise when an analyst is

regulation. the opportunity to hear how Dr. de Len thinks
clinically. Dr. de Len brings the perspective of Ro de la Plata
psychoanalysis, which created the concept of and gives special
attention to the analytic field and the dialectics of intra- and
intersubjectivity. It thus allows analytic listening to range from
patient to analyst, to what goes between them, to the intrapsychic
and intersubjective meanings of the sociocultural and historical
surround. This perspective, beginning with the work of Madeleine
and Willy Baranger and Pichon-Rivire, has made a unique
contribution and is a perspective that gains increasing influence
in world psychoanalysis. After attending this session, participants
should be able to: 1) Describe how Dr. de Len thinks about clinical
case material and apply some of her ideas to his or her own
subsequent clinical work; 2) Be better informed about the clinical
approach and theoretical understandings brought by Ri de la Plata
psychoanalysis. :2 TWO-DAY CLINICAL WORKSHOP #3: Workshop Series in
Analytic Process and Technique (Part 1) Chair: Sharon Blum, Ph.D.
(Los Angeles, CA) Presenter: Sydney Arkowitz, Ph.D. (Tucson, AZ)
Discussant: Glen Gabbard, M.D. (Bellaire, TX) This is a two-part
session. Part 2 will take place on Thursday at 4:30 p.m.
Participants are expected to attend both days. We all know clinical
work can be both rewarding but also at times taxing. Clinicians
(from beginning students to experienced ones) all need to have a
forum to discuss and to elaborate on the underlying thinking that
informs the clinicians work. The two day clinical workshop, because
it meets for an extended period of time allows for a deeper
understanding of clinical process. It also allows an active
learning approach. There will be an on-going dialogue between Dr.
Glen Gabbard, a leading expert in our field and the audience. In
addition there will be ample time for participants to share with
each other what they consider important aspects of working
analytically. After attending these sessions, participants should
be able to 1) Experience directly how Glen Gabbard, M.D., a leading
expert in international psychoanalytic thinking, integrates his
theoretical contributions with direct clinical work; 2) Have a
better appreciation for how Glen Gabbard utilizes clinical data to
inform psychoanalytic interventions and should have an increased
understanding how Dr. Gabbards technique can help their o
